Last one I promise, Bob. This guy was pretty pleased with himself when he had finished. Chest out, chin up and a thunderous beating of his wings to let the world know how clever he had been. Pretty much like some people I've met really.

I'll see what I can do Bob, but I must admit that I would rather get a sequence like the one that a local snapper got a couple of years ago. He photographed a fox swimming backwards and forwards to an island nest and stealing the eggs one at a time. He told me that it made him enough for a new 500mm even with the agent taking 60%. Happy days.

60%! blimey!

Anyway, this is another beautiful shot in the series - colours/tones are just perfect for the bird(s).
